This is the exact same thing as Apple no longer supporting upgrades for
a first gen iPad and then those users seem happy enough to upgrade to
new models that guarantee forward compatibility.
And as great as the Squeezebox ecosystem is, let's not forget that
Logitech abandoned it way before
I've started a thread as a brief intro for any sonos refugees. I
haven't published the url at sonos community (!). Any interested

Any other helpful posts (basic level, I suggest) are welcome from
community members.

I've been lurking some of the discussion as I own a few Sonos boxes. The
hurricane of hate is still category 5, might be category 4 in a few
days.
I see I number of posters saying "they won't buy a locked ecosystem
again" and then day they are looking at
Bluesound/Bose/Musicast.[emoji2357]
The sonos fiasco continues unabated. The main thread has now over 2700
posts (the original thread which was closed reached about 2000) !!!
I can't understand the psychology of many users who are off looking for
alternative/replacement proprietary systems at huge cost. Bose seems

Gotta admit I made the move to Sonos about 1 year ago, retiring LMS and
my Pi2 and PiCorePlayer setup. Actually sold a nice Bryston amp and
Audiolabs DAC/Pre combo and bought the Sonos Amp to replace it all.
I then lost some brain cells and retired my AVR and old discreet 5.1

Some others have gone off on a hunt for 'alternatives' - most of which
seem to be in github 'cold-storage' and appear amazingly complex to
implement.

The music is the same but the delivery mechanism for Internet-accessible
music has been changing ... e.g. more https, higher bit rate services,
other protocols (eg hls).
LMS is able to hide much of that for our devices but Sonos works in a
different way.
I could believe that their old devices
"some of the oldest products have been stretched to their technical
limits in terms of memory and processing power."
Has music somehow dramatically changed in the past few years?
